Shallow Seismicity and the Classification of Structures in the Lau Back‐Arc Basin
Abstract Back‐arc basins open in response to subduction processes, which cause extension in the upper plate, usually along trench‐parallel spreading axes. However, global seismic databases reveal that the majority of seismic events in the Lau Basin occur along transcurrent (strike‐slip) rather than...
